Fatal crash in Gascoyne

UPDATE 8.15PM A man has been killed and three others injured in a fatal crash this afternoon in Woodleigh, about 700km north of Perth.
At about 4pm a car rolled over on Woodleigh Road, about 2km off Great Northern Highway and 25km north-east from the Overlander Roadhouse.
Semi-private Woodleigh Road runs to Woodleigh Station and is about halfway between Geraldton and Carnarvon.
At this stage, it is believed to be a single-vehicle accident.
St John Ambulance, FESA and the police are at the scene.
The crash came within minutes of a head-on crash on Donnybrook-Boyup Brook Rd about 10km north of Boyup Brook involving two people. One person is still believed to be trapped in a vehicle.
Both crashes came after a side impact crash in Dawesville today that saw an 18-year-old woman rushed to RPH with serious head and internal injures.
At about 3pm the young woman, who is from Erskine, was driving a Mazda on the incorrect side of an incomplete section of Old Coast Road.
Police said she failed to give way to a Mitsubishi Triton travelling northbound, but the male driver escaped with minor injuries.
